Dear Frank & Zed-ites,
This battleship of a film is inching it's way forward thanks to your amazing support. We have started work on the Gargoyles for the Dark Maker's Castle.
4 of 12 Gargoyles Funded!
We have 8 other gargoyles to customize and bring to life. I am eagerly awaiting to see if they get funded and what wonderful totems we get to craft for their backers.
One of the highlights of this past week was seeing backers Johnny and Randy's puppets featured in Fangoria (They've got half a MILLION followers on Facebook!)
Frank's Axe Outtake: A moment of celebration!
Working with puppets, even the simplest action is a challenge. In this tiny clip, you'll see Frank throw his axe AND a glimpse of the forest we created for him to stalk.
I am doing a Livestream via Kickstarter tonight focusing on hte practical effects we used on set. Send me questions in the comments below or via the livestream link here.
Best,
Jesse
Extra Bits:
Team Puppetcore Member, Cameron Harrison has a great Trekkie podcast going. Check it out here.
Instead of 'Frank & Zed' what about 'Eddie & Frankie?" Cool animated short.

Hi Gang,
I got fancy this week and made some Gifs!
These fancy photos work just like regular images. To use yourself:
Right-Click the photo
Choose 'Save As'
Save it to your computer
Then upload to the social media site of your choosing as main image or comment.
Use #FrankAndZed and we'll add another storyboard to your swag!
Recognize these guys?
'Shhh, enough you plebeian.'
Kickstarter 2 Funding Goal for you.
I want to give everybody something to look forward to if our second campaign is successful. So, I had this idea, you know how donors always get their names inscribed into the bricks around the building? Well, let's do that for everybody!
Assuming we are successful in the second campaign, we'll create a cobblestone street in Murder Village and inscribe all the stones with your initials. Then, we'll take a fancy, high-res image and put it up on our website (and allow you to download it as well) so you can find yourself. Should be super cool and add an amazing textture to the stones.
Jesse

Hearing Voices, New T-shirt, Gross Splats

Hello There!
Wanna hear something gross?
Those are the dulcet tones of one of your fellow backers, Brian M. making unbelievably hard to find 'gross splats." (There is lot of audio from other backers sprinkled throughout the film, thank you!)
Ever sound in Frank & Zed has to be added in post. Below is just a small hint of that process.
I would never have guessed, we would end up doing more takes on some of the audio then we did during the filming.
Kickstarter 2017 Update: $3,250!
We have launched out the doors and hit 20% of our funding goal in the first 48 hours. Many of you have pitched in again and I am so grateful for your continued support. We've got a new t-shirt design to celebrate.
This design needs a name! What should be call it?
What do you think? I was so excited with the concept of a puppeteer being chewed on by Zed!
Name this design
Also, let's name this bad boy something better than 'Design B.' What is your favorite movie where the 'student/disciple kills their master?' Comment, Msg, FB and we'll choose one at random.
I've added a new reward tier just for you guys. To make it more affordable, it does not include the Blu-ray but does include the Digital Download.
More non-movie rewards coming to new campaign! Pledge at $1 or more to the new campaign to get all updates.
MURDER VILLAGE: This is where we're going
Our villagers live in a little place called, 'Murder Village' and I need your help populating it. We will be doing loads of fun stuff on the new campaign involving everyone in the creation of our little town and the castle that sits above them. Streets, props, portculliss'esis (sp?) will all be created from scratch.
Join us on Facebook to get involved in the daily naming contesty stuff.
